The time has come—Millennials are ready for car ownership. They’re past their college years, getting married, earning good salaries, and considering moves outside of urban areas. If you’re an automotive marketer and still think of Millennials as teens who only use ride-sharing services, this Placed Research report is for you.

Millennials are actively shopping for vehicles, and using ride-sharing apps as a supplement to car ownership

By integrating Placed’s large-scale business visitation data with 1st-party automotive shopping surveys, we validated that Millennials are shopping at dealerships and taking test drives.

Although Millennials are ready to buy cars, the study also shows that Millennials shop differently. Fortunately, their real-world behavior—day of the week, time of day, business affinities—follows consistent patterns that can be used for optimizing marketing programs and ad campaigns to drive more Millennials to shop and test drive at dealerships.
